The unanimous State Supreme Court ruling that freed Hambrick essentially
agreed with a Second Amendment argument he'd been making since July 2,
2011, the night Chicago Police pulled him over near 79th and Ashland
because he was allegedly not using a seatbelt. Hambrick told them he
had a firearm. When they took his chrome .45 caliber Taurus handgun, he
admits becoming belligerent and lecturing the cops on his rights as an
American citizen. Later, when he tried to file criminal charges against
the arresting officers and the Circuit Court Judge hearing his case,
the judge revoked Hambrick's bond and ordered a psychiatric evaluation.
He was found to be sane, but as his case bounced through three
courtrooms, no new bond was ever set. Hambrick's mug shot from 26 months ago indicates he lost a lot of
weight while in Jail, refusing even to consider pleading guilty to any
charge, despite pressure from some in his family.

I hope he sues the crap out of Cook County and the city of Chicago. How much longer, and how much more, are people in Chicago going to take before they strike back?
